Ready Boost enabled devices will be able to do this. Anything that has a solid state memory can be used for ready boost (as long as it included the hash ID that lets windows know its ReadyBoost enabled). Even some gaming mice have flash memory for the button assignments and windows sees them as ReadyBoost enabled.

Does Windows 7 make your computer faster?

It all depends on how much RAM (Random Access Memory) you have. Windows 7 runs smooth with at least 2GB (Giga Bytes) of RAM. I personally have a small laptop with Windows 7 which only has 1GB of RAM and it still runs fine. But if you want your computer to have more RAM on Windows 7, simply insert an external flash drive into your computer that at least has 1GB available. After you insert it, a message on your computer will pop up asking you what you would like to do with the flash drive. One option says "Speed Up My System Using ReadyBoost". Click on that and another box should pop up. Click on the button that says "Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost" and click "Apply". As long as you have the flash drive in, you should have more RAM. I personally have an 8GB flash drive which I use with ReadyBoost and my laptop runs really fast!
